What else can I help you with?
Why are plains flat?
Thick layers of fine sediment collect on them
When sediment sinks into the ocean floor it is called?
When sediment sinks into the ocean floor, it is called sedimentation. Over time, layers of sediment build up and compress to form sedimentary rocks.
What type of sediment represents a relatively small portion of the overall sediment in the ocean?
hydrogenous
How does sediment that is closer to a mid ocean ridge compare to sediment that is farther away?
it is older
As rivers flow into the ocean and deposit thick layers of sediment on the ocean floor what will the crust under the sediment do?
the crust will cool to form metamorphic rock
Why are abyssal plains flat?
Thick layers of fine sediment collect on them
How does sediment that is closer to a mid ocean ridge compare to sediment that is father away?
It's thinner
What other method might Fred have used to collect the substance which was a sediment?
Fred could have used a sediment core sampler to collect the sediment more effectively. This device allows for the extraction of a vertical column of sediment, preserving the layers and providing a more representative sample of different sediment depths. Alternatively, he might have employed a grab sampler, which captures sediment from the surface, allowing for quick collection of larger quantities.
Where on the ocean floor is sediment the thickest?
the thickest accumulation of sediment on the ocean floor is at the CONTINENTAL SLOPES AND RISES. :)
What is an ocean floor sediment?
broken up rocks
What is a narrow column of sediment found in the ocean?
United
What is the triangular or fan shaped deposit of sediment that forms where a river empties into an ocean or lake?
silt This trianguar deposit of sediment where a river empties into an ocean is called a delta.
